What side effects does Xi'an Ophthalmology Corneal Shaping Lens have?
Corneal plastic lens is a common method to correct myopia, which can be achieved by changing the shape of the cornea.

This article will discuss the side effects of Xi'an Ophthalmology Orthokeratoscope from four aspects: corneal discomfort, dry eye, infection and allergy.
1. Corneal discomfort

Therefore, it is very important to wear and care for the corneal shaping lens correctly. The wearing time and care method given by the doctor must be followed. Use the special cleaning solution to clean the shaping mirror every day, and replace the lens and care the protein dissolving products at the specified time.
In case of abnormal symptoms such as redness and swelling of eyes, increased secretion, pain or vision change, seek medical advice immediately. Ophthalmologists can diagnose according to symptoms and give corresponding treatment.
4. Allergic reaction
Some people may be allergic to certain components in the material of the corneal shaping lens. Allergic reactions may include eye itching, redness, swelling, tears and other symptoms. The occurrence of allergic reaction is related to the individual's allergic constitution, not to the quality and material of the plastic mirror.
